=The SLD Checklist Structure= The Checklist for Strong Learning Design allows you to assess 14 elements of your training materials. For purposes of clarity and organization, we have classified the 14 elements of the SLD Checklist into 4 major categories:
 * style="width:80%; vertical-align:top; border-left:5px solid #ffcccc; background-color:#ffffff;" |
 * Objectives - what the learner is expected to achieve when completing your training
 * Materials - the content provided to the learner
 * Activities - the exercises the learner is asked to complete
 * Tone and Esthetics - the look and feel of the overall lesson

How the SLD Checklist is Used
For each element in the SLD Checklist, the instructional designer is asked to rate where your materials fall on a spectrum between being "action-oriented" or an "information dump" by placing an "X" along a continuum. When you have finished, the completed checklist provides you with a picture of the areas of your training that are in most need of improvement in order to make them more powerful for the user.
